Morning links: Catching up with Kevin Faulk, examining Nate Solder's technique, pondering five issues and more

Karen Guregian Sunday, August 12, 2012

In today's Herald, the coverage kicks off with my Sunday NFL notes. For that, I caught up with Kevin Faulk, and wondered where he was, and if he watched Thursday's game.

Turns out he's at his home not far from Gillette Stadium, and of course, he watched game. But it was very strange. You can read Faulk's thoughts on being so close, yet so far away, which led the notebook, right here.

Without practices the past few days, I offered up some random thoughts based on what I've seen over the course of camp and the first preseason game. You can check out those five issues to ponder right here.

My Patriots notebook lead, meanwhile, tries to figure out why Nate Solder looked so bad, and what he needed to do to get better. For this, I consulted CBS analyst the Sirius XM football radio host Randy Cross, who provided commentary on the television broadcast of the game.

Also, colleague Mark Daniels wrote a feature on defensive back Ross Ventrone, the man who lived on the transaction wire last season, as he was a part of 21 roster moves last season.
